    Taco salad
    Andrea L.

    We came here for weekday lunch since we were working/staying nearby. It was pretty crowded in the parking lot and inside. The service was good considering how meant people were trying to get in and out for lunch. I got the taco salad, and we shared queso + chips. The queso wasn't very good and reminded me of the fake cheese you'd get from the grocery store. The taco salad was just okay. The steak/fajita was a little chewy. We weren't super impressed and probably wouldn't go back.

    Thanks to our fellow yelpers' for this new discovery. As others mentioned, the decor is minimalist, but the restaurant seems clean and the food, prices and service we're all very good. The chips are crunchy and the salsa is the fresh, cold variety. The flavor was perfect and it wasn't spicy at all nor did it have that soapy, cilantro taste. Beef taco plate was tasty and so we're the mole enchiladas. The pastor taco wasn't anything like pastor I've had at other places. It was just beef fajita. I thought they made a mistake, but the waiter insisted it was correct. Regardless, it still had a good flavor, but I wouldn't order it again. We'd eat here again. The food came out within minutes so this would be perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!

    Mole enchiladas with rice and beans. Very good.

    This was my first visit. Had the mole enchiladas. Very tasty I thought the rice was very good as well as the beans. No real lemonade, only bad thing. Would definitely come here again. Oh, tacos al pastor aren't really that; they are more like fajita tacos.

    Carne guisada and tacos grande.

    Good quality food even when you're looking for vegetarian. I'd recommend it for anyone in the RGV area.

    I ordered this on Door Dash, so one never knows how fresh it's going to be when it arrives…read more Fortunately, it seemed to show up at my hotel room door about as fresh as if I were at the restaurant. I ordered a plate that had a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, guac, a beef fajita taco and I got a carne guisada taco on the side just to try it out. I also got chips & queso because I wanted to try that, too. I think I'm too used to crappy fast food Mexican food like Taco Cabana, because I was expecting everything to be on the smallish side. I was dead wrong. The tacos are large and the carne guisada one was stuffed to overflowing. Two people could easily split the dinner, and the extra stuff was just wasteful on my part. I ate a fraction of what came. As far as the food goes, the rice is seriously good and so are the beans. That's typically where most restaurants just throw some filler on the plate and call it a day. The guacamole was good, too. The homemade chips are also delicious. I did enjoy the queso, but wouldn't put it too far above average restaurant faire. The fajitas were very good as was the carne guisada, although I thought the beef chunks were extremely large. I didn't care for the enchilada sauce, so I ended up not eating those. But, that's just personal preference, so take it with a grain of salt. Overall, I thought it was good food at a good price and I'll probably order it again when I come back through Harlingen.

    This is our second or third visit to Tejano Grill and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service…read more We ordered a mixture of TexMex, BBQ, a chicken sandwich and seafood between the four of us. Everyone seemed to like what they ordered. My Two Meat BBQ Plate had brisket slices and some smoked turkey breast. The turkey was a little dry but had good flavor and there was a lot of it. The brisket was nice and moist but unfortunately two slices were sliced incorrectly WITH the grain instead of across the grain. This made them tougher than they should have been. Kind of a rookie mistake. But the flavor was good. The grandson's spicy fried flounder was very good. He loved it! The spicy Chicken sandwich was excellent and shared between two of our party. Overall the food was good and the service was very good. The place wasn't busy because it was midafternoon which was nice since it's usually packed on the weekends. We definitely will return when we travel to Harlingen to pick up visitors at the airport.

    Went to eat here at 7 P.M. on a Saturday, which surprisingly wasn't too busy. Was seated…read moreimmediately and the server was friendly. Ordered the beef fajitas, the people I was with ordered the street tacos and Moe's supreme, and everyone was satisfied with the food, although I think everything was priced slightly too high. Overall, solid experience and would recommend.

    I really wanted to like this place and we were excited to try it…read more When we arrived there was NO ONE there. The host greeted us without a smile and seated us. The waiter was very over the top friendly and pushy which made us feel like we were dealing with a used car salesman. When we mentioned we were there for Happy Hour the friendliness then turned to dismissive as he told us we would need to sit at the bar for that. We were sitting at a table next to the bar and the bar was all high tops. Again, NO ONE else was there. I asked if there was any low top seating that would count as sitting at the bar due to having a condition that would make it painful to sit on a barstool. He unapologetically stated "No". I was not going to pay more for my food and drink due to geography, so I stood at the bar. As we looked over the menu the bartender, host, and waiter stood at the end of the bar talking and gossiping. It seemed very unprofessional since we were the only ones there and we could hear their entire conversation. The bartender was very friendly. We ordered the bowl of queso and the bartender asked if we wanted it loaded and we told her no. We also ordered the bistec and chicken tacos with no pico de gallo. When the queso came out it was a small cup full of what looked like onions, but probably pico de gallo. We told the bartender we ordered the bowl and did not want the pico. She took it back and then gave us another small bowl and it was topped with meat. She could tell we were not happy and asked if everything was okay, so we explained we had ordered the bowl, not cup and just wanted plain queso, but at this point we told her it was fine. When the tacos arrived the bistec were covered in raw onions. This was not listed on the menu and not something either of us wanted which is why we said no pico. We sent those back as well but told her we did not want them replaced. We split the chicken tacos and were not impressed so we didn't order anything else.
